“As a result of your callous disregard for cherished constitutional rights, you may have succeeded in unmasking a sexual relationship between two consenting adults.”

What right is that? For the boss to shctup his secretary or underling?Didn't this particular boss pass rules against sexual harrasment that would make it harrasment even if consensual (because of the power difference).

And lets also not forget that but for the info coming out Clinton was all set to destroy Monica Lewinsky and peg her as a crazy woman.

“Congratulations, Mr. Starr!” Ginsburg wrote in an open letter published in California Lawyer magazine. “As a result of your callous disregard for cherished constitutional rights, you may have succeeded in unmasking a sexual relationship between two consenting adults.”

A: Sexually harassing a WH intern is a "cherished constitutional right?" B. Monica herself, via Linda Whatzername, did the unmasking. Ginsburg's comment was dishonest and silly then and now.

Otherwise: Secular Jewish lawyer from California covers for miscreant Democrat President at the expense of his client. Big surprise.

Sounds like a great PR statement in support of his client. Nothing wrong with that.

It was not Ginsburg, but the United States Senate whose members violated their oaths of office, chose party over country, ignored Clinton's guilt, and declared that we are, in fact, not a nation of laws, but of men.

The President is an employee. We have every right to know if he's having sex with his secretary in his office. I'd be fine if it was private and none of our business, but we have laws against that now, and Democrats have convinced us that these laws are very important, and involve serious civil rights. Did they lie about that? Is it Fen's law yet again?

It's that double standard that bothers me the most, and it happens all of the time. I'm surprised that someone else didn't see what Althouse did to bring that to our attention. Or, at least that's what I think she did.

No concern about the rather blatant violations of Linda Tripp's privacy? Her records were leaked to the press by somebody in the Clinton administration.

It was not Ginsburg, but the United States Senate whose members violated their oaths of office, chose party over country, ignored Clinton's guilt, and declared that we are, in fact, not a nation of laws, but of men.

It showed that Democrats will never vote to remove a Democrat President, no matter the crime.

Obama can happily ignore the Constitution because the Democrats wouldn't impeach if he was found guilty of murder.

BTW, it was not that long before this incident that Billy boy signed into law a specific law which basically stated that if a subordinate has sex with her boss that, by definition, it was harassment due to the relative power relationship of the boss/employee.

Being a crooked Democrat means never having to say you're sorry. Long live Blow Job Clinton, all the unrepentant terrorists like Bernardine Dohrn, Bill Ayers and the Communist In Chief.

"The farther shores of leftism are amply populated as well. Among the renowned career successes of the modern law school is that of the former Weather Underground terrorist Bernardine Dohrn at Chicago’s Northwestern."

"Ginsburg was doing his job, defending his client who was in real trouble for a while there. RIP."

Except that his grandstanding against Starr and the Republicans and counsel for Lewinsky not to take the immunity deal was not in the interest of his client, it was in his political and personal interests. Fuck him.

I see that Bitchtits the Uneducated has fled from the spanking Althouse gave him in the Roggensack thread to continue spreading his lefty cheerleading here.

I don't think Clinton perjured himself. In the AZ case, he specifically removed blow jobs from the definition of sex, for the purpose of the trial.

Of course, Hillary making Lewinsky out to be a stalker to protect her husband was pretty cloak and dagger stuff, but hey, she would make a great president.

On the other hand, I recall Bush Sr. stating Clinton had low character during the initial election. He was right. I don't see how feminists can support this groper, alleged rapist, etc. Though Clinton will probably get a footnote for changing Freud's meaning of cigar back to something other than cigar.

Ken Starr, Monica Lewinsky and even, albeit to a lesser extent, Ginsburg suffered damage to their careers and reputations. Clinton suffered no such damage. It was perhaps a little embarassing, but ultimately the scandal just proved what a virile stud our rogueish President was and how prissy and puritanical were his critics......The term "teflon President" was applied to Reagan by Democrats. Clinton had teflon with a heat shield. Democrats really do get away with a lot more crap than Republicans.

I once witnessed an esteemed colleague forced to resign for not having an adulterous and sexually harassing relationship with an employee and for not committing financial fraud, by a man who had done both (in other instances) and got away with it. WTF

Hey, let's make sure to give credit where credit is due. The Democrats and Bill Clinton would have never been able to get away with any of this if it were not for the MSM. When this story first came out Clinton was in huge trouble. If the story had been reported honestly by the press he would have been impeached. He was only saved by month after month after month of the 24/7/365 rationalizations about consensual sex and how this was a private matter, the refusal to point out that the trial was about perjury and not about sex and the out right demonization of anyone who was trying to follow the law. Without this herculean effort by the press Bill Clinton was toast.
